Chapter 389: Regret
Su Mian would definitely not agree to it a long time ago.
But they are mainly trying to persuade Shen Manzhi now, so her gaze fell directly on her, and said lightly: "The county lord must also want to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so why not cooperate with us, this time, we promise to protect your safety, if you can't do it, we don't dare to risk you, you believe us, this is the best way at present." ”
Sha Yue was afraid that Shen Manzhi would really agree, so she quickly stretched out her hand to firmly block the person behind her, and stared at Su Mian with a cold gaze: "You said it well, how can we believe you?" Who knows if you have some conspiracy. ”
Sayue's expression was very cold and hard, and her tone was also hard, and she questioned: "We inquired before we came, the emperor sent the prime minister to be in charge of the county lord's affairs, and the regent was at odds with the prime minister, this is not a secret at all in Xisheng, how can we believe that you are not deliberately letting the county lord take risks in order to take revenge on the prime minister?" ”
Since their accident until now, they have not seen the prime minister, the water in the Xisheng Dynasty Hall is too deep, and Sayue does not want Shen Manzhi to take risks.
Her consideration was not superfluous, at least it made it difficult for Su Mian and Gu Zhi's behavior, because the prime minister was the first to disapprove of the county lord as a bait.
He was afraid that something would happen to the county lord.
But now that the assassins were all hidden, it would be difficult to lure people out if they didn't.
Su Mian knew that Sha Yue didn't say anything about this matter, and Shen Manzhi had to express her position.
So she said to Shen Manzhi again: "County Lord, can't you see the current form clearly?" We could indeed send more men to search for Chengcheng and create a better chance for the Assassins to hide. ”
Shen Manzhi's expression was slightly moved.
Su Mian saw that there was a play, and became even more excited, and said quickly: "County Lord, you must know, we have countermeasures, and the assassins will not stay where we are in place in vain to let us arrest, delay for one more day, just to create more time for them to escape, if they can't catch the assassins, after a long time, they will have secretly left the capital for a long time, and if they want to find it in the future, it will not be so easy, in that case, if you want to take revenge, it will be even more difficult." ”
Not being able to take revenge is the most intolerable thing for Shen Manzhi.
She gritted her teeth, grabbed Sayue's shoulders, pushed Sayue to the side, stepped forward and stood in front of Su Mian, and made up her mind: "I promise." What do you want me to do. ”
"County Lord!" Sayue's face was full of incredulity and incomprehension, her eyes were completely empty, her expression was serious to the extreme, and her pupils were dilated.
Shen Manzhi glanced at her soothingly, and said softly: "Shayue, the most important thing for me now is to catch the assassins quickly, I said it, I want them to pay for Xiaoxi's life, if I refuse to come forward because I am greedy for life and afraid of death, I will regret it for the rest of my life." ”
I was very satisfied with the look in my eyes that was too insistent, and Satsuki was like a fish in her throat, and she couldn't say anything to refuse.
Su Mian breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a relaxed tone: "We have already planned, we just need to spread the news that you are still alive, and then you can go to the post house, you can rest assured, we will definitely guarantee that it will be good in terms of security, and we will definitely not let you be hurt by the assassins, as long as someone comes, I believe that this matter will be investigated soon." ”
This matter is easy to say, but the danger in it is definitely not so lightly said by Su Mian.
Sha Yue's face was full of solemnity, but Shen Manzhi had already agreed to cooperate, she didn't dare to refute more, she could only say: "I don't care what your plan is, the county is a little bit wrong, and no one can afford this responsibility, so you'd better say that you do a good job and really ensure her safety." ”
"Of course." Su Mian nodded, thought about it and said, "If you are really not at ease, I can go to the post house with your county lord, anyway, you have to go out of the academy, and the fact that she was saved by me can't be hidden, I will go back with her, and I will stay together all the time, if something happens to her, I can't escape, so it's enough, right?" ”
"Ah Mian...... "It's Gu Zhixing's turn not to be calm this time, because this is not in their plan at all."
One more accident means one more danger.
Su Mian smiled sappingly, and said softly: "I believe in you, as well as Lu Zhe, you will definitely be able to guarantee our safety, so I won't shoot, with me accompanying the county lord, the county lord can also feel at ease, so that he will not be exposed, if the county lord is too scared and let the assassin see that this is a trap, I am afraid that the plan will fail, and that will not work." ”
Gu Zhixing knew that every word Su Mian was analyzing now had a light reason, but if he wanted him to agree, he was panicked for no reason, empty, and always relieved.
Sayue agreed very much, her face was not as tense as just now, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said quickly: "I think this is good, I can be more at ease if someone accompanies the county lord." ”
She felt that Su Mian, as the regent princess, would definitely do her best to protect this person.
The matter was decided in this way, and the guards around Gu Zhixing quickly went to find someone to spread the news, but Gu Zhixing pulled Su Mian out and asked unhappily: "Ah Mian, why did you suddenly agree to be with her, you didn't discuss it with me at all, and I wasn't mentally prepared at all." "Food
When Shen Manzhi was asked to be the bait, Gu Zhixing didn't feel it at all, and even felt that they didn't agree, it was really uncourageous and delayed.
But when this person became Su Mian, his state of mind became completely different, and he hoped that Su Mian would be safe and not exposed to threats at all.
People are really double standard.
Su Mian shook Gu Zhixing's hand soothingly, and promised: "Don't worry, I won't let myself have an accident, and didn't you also hand me over some self-defense techniques, I can still protect myself." ”
Su Mian didn't seem to realize the danger of this matter at all, her expression was not calm, and her tone was bleak: "Besides, the county lord's maid is obviously a bit of fist and foot kung fu, how can the three of us stay together, how can we take care of each other, the most important thing is that I really believe in you, you won't let me have an accident, right?" ”
Gu Zhixing was still a little uneasy, and retorted: "Your little self-defense technique is just for you to deal with some thugs, and you don't have to be afraid in front of the assassins, as for that maid, she is so heartfelt to the county lord, she must have a heart on the county lord, where can I take care of you." ”
Su Mian couldn't refute his words, but she didn't give up, but instead smiled Yan Yan and said in a brisk tone: "Then I don't still have you?" ”
Gu Zhixing was defeated by her smile and the trust and delivery of her eyes wholeheartedly.
He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and said slowly: "Yes, you still have me, Ah Mian, I will use my life to protect you, as long as I still have a breath, no one will want to hurt you." ”
"Don't." Su Mian stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and said solemnly, "Don't say that, it's not lucky at all, I hope that the premise of your protection of me is that you are safe, if you sacrifice yourself to protect me, then I would rather die with you." ”
Gu Zhixing lowered his eyes solemnly, frowned and said unhappily: "Okay, Mian, let's not talk about it, the time is almost up, and the news should be dispersed, I will find someone to send you out, you must pay attention to safety." ”
Su Mian nodded and went to Shen Manzhi's room again.
Shen Manzhi was obviously not too nervous, but his expression was a little solemn, and there was a little more pain of loss and struggle in his originally innocent and easy-going eyes.
She wasn't the carefree Lord Monco anymore.
Su Mian glanced at her from a distance, and suddenly asked, "County Lord, do you regret leaving your hometown and coming to Xisheng?" ”
Shen Manzhi raised his eyes and looked over.
Although this question was endless, and it was very inappropriate, Shen Manzhi actually slowly understood what she meant after seeing the expression in Su Mian's eyes.
She gritted her teeth, her eyes suddenly became quite firm, and her tone was solemn: "No." ”
After speaking, she couldn't help but hook her lips and smile: "What is there to regret, although it was arranged by my father to marry, and I also agreed to it, I don't regret coming to Xisheng, I'm just blaming myself, why did I want to let the news sit in the carriage instead of me because of the freshness and curiosity at that time." ”
For Shen Manzhi, this matter is no longer something that can be explained without regret, she is blaming herself, and she has already carried this responsibility on her shoulders, and her heart hurts when she thinks about it.
Su Mian took a deep breath and said calmly: "County Lord, to say something unpleasant, it is good for many people for you to survive, only if you live more people can live, if the person in the carriage is really you, now I don't know how many people have died because of their unfavorable work and failure to protect you." ”
"But ......" Shen Manzhi wanted to say what others had to do with her, but she suddenly reacted, lowered her eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly, and said helplessly, "So I'm really a trouble, I want to hurt others left and right, I know that for the sake of righteousness and marriage, I should live, but what I owe Xiaoxi can't be paid off in this life." ”
A living human life died because of her willfulness.
Su Mian shook her head slightly, she was distressed about what happened to Shen Manzhi, but even more, she was powerless.
When encountering this kind of thing, no matter how distressed others are, it is useless.
She could only come out by herself, so Su Mian only appeased palely: "I don't want to think about it, I caught the assassin to avenge Xiaoxi, you also have a matter on your mind, let's plan the arrangements for a while, you must not show your stuffing, if you fall short, it will be a pity." ”
Su Mian and Shen Manzhi are not familiar with each other, so in order not to let others see the clues, they have to pretend to be normal, at least so that others can see through them at a glance.
Shen Manzhi is very concerned about this matter, so now she cooperates with whatever Su Mian says.
